This edition of the HP Discover Performance podcast series examines the future of security in the enterprise. As the need to protect and manage assets extends beyond the four walls of the organization -- with the adoption of cloud and mobile -- how should the thinking about traditional security adjust?
I recently had a chance to sit down with Raf Los of HP Software to gather his perspective on the answer to that question. Los has an interesting personal perspective on the concept of "enterprise resiliency," which I initially heard about through his blog, Following the White Rabbit. He's also on Twitter at @wh1t3rabbit. [Disclosure: HP is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
Join me as we unpack with Los the concept of enterprise resiliency as the natural maturity direction for IT security in general.
Here are some excerpts from our discussion:
Gardner: Tell me a little bit about your vision. We all understand security and why it's important, but you've developed, I think, an expanded category for security.
Los: Security, over the years, has evolved from an absolute concept of a binary decision: is it secure or is it not? As we move forward, I believe very strongly that what we're evolving into is, as we've heard people talk about, risk management.
Risk management starts to include things that are beyond the security borders. As I talked to customers out here, I was having an "aha" moment. A little while ago, at one of our converged cloud chats, we were talking about how things fail. Everything fails at some point, and chaos takes over.
So rather than talking about security, which is a set of absolutes or a concrete topic, and boxing ourselves into threats from a security perspective, the evolution of that goes into enterprise resiliency. What that means is that it's a combination of recoverability, security, performance, and all the other things that bring together a well-oiled business that can let you take a shot to the gut, get back up, and keep going.
A lot of the CISOs nowadays are set up to fail by their organizations. It's a non-winning position, because you're put into a position where the board of directors, if you're lucky, or your CTO or your CIO asks, "How much money do you need to secure this organization?"
That's horrible, and no matter what you say, you lose. If you say nothing, you lose. If you have $10 million, a billion dollars, there's no amount of money you can spend to make your company completely secure.
Acceptable risk
So what are you aiming for? You're aiming for a level of acceptable risk. Well, acceptable risk of what and how and how much you're aiming for. It's not just acceptable risk. We're looking at acceptable risk from a security perspective, but we need to incorporate the fact that we're going to get owned.
We need to get out of our ivory towers and we need to start thinking about the fact that attacks happen and insiders happen. There are things that are going to transpire that are beyond our control and things that we cannot plan for.
Technology will fail. People and processes will fail. Our own technologies, our own minds will fail us. Our best friends will fail us. People get tempted. This is a human nature that the weakest element will always be a human being, and there's no patch for that.
So how do we move and get back to business as usual? How we get back to being a resilient business. That's a cool concept -- that I have enterprise resiliency.
Gardner: This makes great sense to me, because we've been talking, over the past several years, about how security needs to be applied to different parts of the organization holistically and needs to be thought of in advance, be built in, and become part of a lifecycle.
But it makes double sense to me to expand the purview of security. It really is in making sure that there's performance resiliency, failover resiliency, backup and recovery resiliency, and data backup and duplication resiliency. So why not look at it through the resiliency lens? It makes a great deal of sense.
Los: Absolutely, and that's exactly where this is coming from. I've actually given a series of talks and called it the introduction of Chief Chaos Officer. It's not an actual role you're going to see on monster.com, but it's just a concept. It's kind of like the aging Killcraft, a Chaos Monkey thing from Netflix.
Can you, as an organization, get comfortable with the fact that things will fail? In the talk that I gave, it comes from the perspective of you've got a lot of great security technology. You've probably got full disk encryption. You back up. You have firewalls, redundant networks, and all these things that you do.
You have procedures that you're supposed to follow in the red book, a big red binder that sits on your incident response handler's desk, and you have all these things that are supposed to be followed.
Your people are trained, and your developers are supposedly writing better source code. These are all things that we can test through penetration testing, which means on Sunday between 7:00 p.m. and Monday 3:00 a.m. on the following four IPs, but only when we're ready.
No patch for the human
And it's like, okay, we've tested ourselves, we're confident that we're secure. I'm making kind of a scrunchy face, because that's not really what this means. I've worked with folks who are red-team testers. I've yet to meet a red team that's failed, because, as I said, there's no patch for the human.
When you can't penetrate a system or an organization via a new Zero-day, you'll walk in through the front door by walking and carrying flowers from the CEO's wife or something, and you'll own the organization that way.
But the question isn't whether you'll be owned or not. What happens next is the big question, and it encompasses things like how good is your PR strategy. Do you have all the legal pieces in place? When your backup system fails or your entire data center gets wiped out by Hurricane Katrina, in a worst-case scenario, do you just sort of throw up your hands and go, "Well, that stinks? Well, we were in the cloud." Oh, your cloud just got wiped out. Now what?
Gardner: I've been speaking with a number of folks lately who hold the opinion that, at least for small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs), going to the cloud can improve their security and resiliency sufficiently to make it a no-brainer. For enterprises, it might be a longer haul and there might be more complications and issues to manage.
Do you agree with that that the SMB can outsource some of this resiliency to the cloud provider who needs to do it and has the resources and experience to do it better than the SMBs do?
Los: There's a number of SMBs that can greatly benefit from the fact that good security talent is expensive and good security talent that can actually work towards a more resilient, more secure enterprise is very difficult to come by. It's becoming scarce.
So small companies do the best they can with what they have their hands on. And there's certainly a ton of benefit to be gained from going to a shared model like a cloud. Does it raise the bar for everybody? I can't say yes. On the whole, do I believe it raises the bar? Absolutely. Let's take the angle of threat intelligence.
I'm a small entity with five IP addresses on the Internet. How do I know what bad guys look like? If I have my five IP addresses in a public cloud some place, that public cloud is attacked billions of times a day and probably subscribes to numerous threat-intelligence services. They know exactly what to look for. And if they don't, they can find out pretty quickly. They probably have a ton of resources from the security perspective.
Do I think it's better? Absolutely. SMBs have a lot to gain by taking that step. You have to be intelligent about it. You can't just say, "I'm going to move to the cloud and I'll be secure." Let's be realistic about it. Get a partner that will get you there. Do due diligence on the partner that you're choosing to work with. You still can't run into the water with your eyes closed, but I think there's a lot of benefit to be had, absolutely.
Gardner: And as we're learning more about the HP Converged Cloud, it's a cloud of clouds. You have hybrid delivery. You might have a variety of sources for applications and services. You might have data in a variety of sources across a variety of organizations, running from on-premises to managed hosting to multiple cloud and SaaS providers.
Is there a way that, in addition to the security that's going on within those organizations, you can add more security at that converged cloud layer, particularly when you're converging network storage, workload provisioning, governance, and so forth. What's the add-on value that the HP Converged Cloud can bring resiliency-wise?
Choice, consistency, confidence
Los: Our Converged Cloud strategy focuses on three very simple words: choice, consistency, and confidence. We're focusing on consistency and confidence here and perhaps a little bit of choice as well.
What we're saying is that because we focus on OpenStack, because we've chosen to build our platform completely on OpenStack, because we're building across a single model, a single way of operating, as [HP CEO] Meg Whitman said at Discover in June. You can build a single security operating model and you'll be able to implement it across your private, public, and hybrid models.
I don't think it's realistic to say every company will have a public cloud-only presence, just as I don't think it's realistic to say companies won't have a public cloud presence. Most organizations will be a combination of on-premise IT, private cloud, virtual private cloud, and public cloud, all of that somehow sharing space and workload, bursting out to each other when necessary.
As I said systems fail, clouds fail, everything fails. So when we think about, and we've had this on our converged cloud chat, when things fail, you have to start architecting for failure and resiliency.
Because of this architecture that we've had, if you choose to get one other partner to back up what you have with us, pick a partner that's got the same OpenStack platform and the same models. It's not going to be hard. There are lots of them out there.
OpenStack is a big platform. You should be able to build once, package once, deploy many times. This saves on manpower, on cost, and on having to redevelop the security wheel over and over and over again. That provides unbelievable amounts of flexibility of what you can do with your enterprise.
When one cloud or a connectivity to one cloud fails, or maybe not fails, but you get attacked in one position, you can bring up other capacity to compensate for that. That's where the true value of cloud comes in. It's elastic computing. It's not a marketing buzzword.
Gardner: We're seeing a lot of highly virtualized environments. We're talking about virtualized server instances, workloads, and network, storage. Disaster recovery (DR) technologies have evolved to the point where we're mirroring and moving entire data centers virtually from one location to another, if there's a resiliency issue like a natural disaster or a security or cyber attack that impacts an electric grid or something along those lines.
Is there a sort of a tipping point that we're at, when it comes to higher levels of virtualization, some of the DR speeds, working with de-duplication and reducing the amount that needs to be moved in these instances, that gives us this higher level of security, simply because of the mobility in which we can now exercise for vast amounts of data and applications?
Los: I believe so. Do I have an answer for that that's clear and crisp? No, I don't know, and I saw a lot of that fantastic stuff. One of the things that caught my attention is we've broken the 100-terabyte-an-hour backup barrier. That blows my mind. I used to work in IT when we were lucky to get 100 gigs an hour and I remember 100 megabytes an hour being a challenge on those giant DLT tapes sometimes over networks.
The idea that we can take an entire cloud and because of data de-duplication, because of the way we move workloads and policies all in one fell swoop, and the way we package things once and move them, as a model, rather than everything together, moving metadata rather than the actual data, it gives us the ability to move things.
One thing that everybody needs to think about is what is this doing for our bandwidth requirements. Bandwidth is a silent thing nobody really thinks about. I've had this discussion with our networking folks. People are building clouds all over the place now and that's great, but it's really easy to get out to a vendor, to get out to a public cloud or whatever, amass an absolute metric ton of data, and then say, "I want to move." How are you going to take your data from there to there? That's a big question.
You need to do your homework ahead of time, make sure you know what you're getting into, and make sure you know what technologies are being supported.

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

Managing mission-critical SAP systems and landscapes has never been easy. Add public cloud with its myriad of powerful cloud native services and this may not change any time soon. Public cloud offers exciting new possibilities for enterprise workloads. But to make use of these possibilities and capabilities, IT teams need to re-think everything they have done before. Otherwise, they will just end up using public cloud as a hosting platform for their workloads, aka known as "lift and shift."

The living room really highlights the house's strongest Art Deco features. The oversize round window glows with light and provides a sneak peek into the space for guests walking through the pool area to the front entrance. Though I am fond of the typical Miami architecture, I didn't want to make it a Deco showcase, but rather blend different styles.

Austin Median Home Prices vs. Median Family Income
Friday, February 17th, 2017 at 12:15pm. 489 Views
A recent KVUE article reported that housing prices have risen faster in Austin than anywhere in the country and that salaries are not keeping pace with the increase.
Looking at the past 26 years of data, KVUE found that family income rose 97 percent, while median home prices rose 290 percent. This means a family originally making $50k would have seen its income increase to $98.5k, and a home that had cost $100k would now cost $390k. To stay on par with price increases, the median income would have had to increase to $153k per year. A median house in Austin is now about $355k.
KVUE said the rapid price increases, in conjunction with less robust wage increases, are "pushing people out of town." It also cited increasing tax burdens on home owners as a…

Texas housing starts decreased 11.3 percent in November 2016 compared to November 2015, once seasonally adjusted. This continues a negative trend for housing starts that began in late-summer 2016, according to a report by the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University and authored by James P. Gaines, Luis B.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Glenn Close Ready To Return As 'Nova Prime' In GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Sequel
The acting heavyweight explains why she joined Marvel's latest cinematic outing, which has pulled in $94 million for its opening weekend, and also comments on reprising Nova Prime in the sequel.
Filed Under: "
Guardians of the Galaxy
USA Today
Last year, one of the most unexpected casting announcements for
Guardians of the Galaxy
was certainly acting veteran Glenn Close, who is now part of the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe as Nova Prime Irani Rael. Speaking with
USA Today
about her supporting role in the film, the six-time Academy Award-nominated actress says she likes to think that anything's possible.
"It reminded me of the original
Star Wars
in that it introduced this great cast but it also had this offhand 'We don't take ourselves so seriously' aspect of it,"
she said.
"You don't only get introduced into this wonderful world that has a look all unto its own, but the characters make you laugh. You feel some sort of empathy toward them, and people love that and want it."
Glenn Close says she especially loved the sci-fi aspect filming
and being informed by director James Gunn to imagine a holographic battle scene taking place before her.
"It's like what we used to do when we were kids: Let's pretend,"
she says.
"For me with acting, I take it to its basic: It's literally playing. Even in the darkest thing, you have to know how to play as an actor and an artist. These movies really bring that out in people."
Glenn Close then admits that, due to her many serious roles of late, she is not offered fun roles like Nova Prime very often, so she does remain open to them when they come around.
"I just have to let people know that I always have been up for anything. I love to do stuff that's different. That's what I love,"
says the actress. Later during the interview, Close also admits that, with Nova Prime's dark eyes and red lipstick, she was worried she'd look too much like her
101 Dalmatians
character Cruella De Vil. However, she was quite fond of her Marvel character's specially designed wig which reminded her of Saturn's rings.
"It's so out there, I don't know if people will like this one, but it's really great,"
she says of the hairdo.
"Now I've really bought into it. This is a great sculpture, a whimsy on my head. I like to think that Nova Prime has that in her, and hopefully we'll be able to see that in the future."
Speaking of the future, which will see James Gunn's sequel to
Guardians of the Galaxy
release on July 28, 2017, Glenn Close reveals she's game to reprise her role.
"When you play a character who they love and are amused by,"
she says,
"hopefully they'll see more of you. Especially at this point in my career, it's fantastic. To be in the beginning of literally a whole new universe for people is really fun."
What do you think?
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy's fate in the balance. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is presented by Marvel Studios and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket, Vin Diesel as the voice of Groot, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gilian, Djimon Hounsou with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and Benicio del Toro as The Collector. Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, the film opens August 1, 2014

Stayed here with my boyfriend (manfriend actually) during July for 4 days and every moment was truly a slice of heaven. This is from all angles 5 star quality with a humble, hospitable and heartwarming staff. The location and grounds are immaculately kept the rooms are Fabulous with a capital F. The ambiance is of a sheek yet vintage feel. It's a spot in Tuscany you won't want to leave.
The food, the food, the food! I like to try different restaurants when I travel but we stayed to eat nearly every meal so we could sample as much as we could from the menu. Consistent excellence in cuisine. A very gifted chef has created some diverse, exciting and surprising combinations. Literally the best meals I have eaten and a wine card that will knock your socks off.
Thank-you David..we can't wait to come back!

We were made to feel very welcome and the room was like a mini holiday home. Lots of books and we were able to stretch out.Fiona2016-10-04T00:00:00Z
Wow what a wonderful time we had at Jacqueline and Murray's. They are both exemplary hosts and if you love native birds the way we do then your in for a treat. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to fellow travellers.Carleen2017-02-11T00:00:00Z
Lovely spacious room with everything you need. Private clean bathroom. Coffee/tea, fridge, ... The pool was perfect after a hot day. The garden is green with a lot of birds. Jacqueline (and her dog)was a very friendly host. We felt immediatly welcome. Recommended!Lieze2016-12-13T00:00:00Z
What a fabulous and welcoming home! I couldn't speak more highly of Jacqueline and her hospitality. The accommodation was private, comfortable and in a stunning location. Jacqueline went out of her way to take care of us and we are incredibly thankful for all the help she provided. We would happily stay here again and certainly recommend her as an air bnb host. The only thing I would change is that I would stay longer to really experience her beautiful home in Koolewong. Everything from the pillow, the tea and the family dog was flawless! Air bnb guests don't pass this place up, it is just wonderful!Hannah2016-10-22T00:00:00Z
Jacky and Murray were the best hosts. Loved everything about this place - clean, spacious, homely, full of nature, wonderful location for checking out and exploring the central coast. Pity we could only spend one night, but will love to come back and stay for longer the next time!Laura2017-01-17T00:00:00Z
Thanks Jacqueline for being so hospitable. The place is absoluetly lovely! And you made us feel so welcome.Nina2016-11-11T00:00:00Z
Our whole experience with the host family was warm and welcoming. The accommodation was roomy ,comfortable and spotlessly clean.The proximity to the station was also a great asset to us. we will definitely return. Thanks to Jacky & Murray for making our stay one we will always remember wit fondness.Roy2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Wir hatten einen unglaublich schönen Aufenthalt im Seabreeze Rückzug. Obwohl wir besorgt hatte, wäre es im Haus kalt, wir waren ekstatisch Heizungen zu finden, die uns bleiben warm während unseres gehalten! Die Küche war auch sehr gut ausgestattet. Diana war eine wunderbare Gastgeberin. Ihre Empfehlungen der Attraktionen der Gegend wurde sehr geschätzt.Cecilia2016-06-30T00:00:00Z
L'hôte, Diana, était très accueillant et arrangeant. La liste était exacte et nous avons eu aucun problème à faire notre chemin à la maison. Le quartier était très calme et il n'a eu aucun problème avec des voisins. Il était juste un endroit de détente pour se reposer après une longue journée en compétition.Rinard2016-08-22T00:00:00Z
We chose Seabreeze Retreat for a coastal family holiday which turned out to be a fantastic experience. Diana was a very lovely and attentive host and it was our pleasure to meet her in person. The house is very spacious and well equipped which made the experience comfortable and highly enjoyable. The BBQ was great. The upstairs air conditioning kept the entire house cool on some of the very hot days. Everything, including cafes, shops and beaches were in close proximity yet the house was located in a quiet area and was surrounded by lots of greenery. There is a train line running along the front of the house, however, the noise is not significant and was never an issue. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend this listing.Marina2017-01-13T00:00:00Z
Stayed for 2 nights in a group of 5. Diane was helpful and provided in advance, details for entering the house, as well as confirming our arrival times and latest time for checkout. The house was depicted accurately - it's modern, spacious, and had everything we needed. The garden setting was beautiful, in a quiet neighbourhood (it's nearby a train line, however it didn't cause me disturbance). It's a great place to relax and unwind with family/friends. We even had a special treat of waking to a choir of morning birds!Mario2016-10-30T00:00:00Z
Vielen Dank für ein schönes sauberes und komfortables Zuhause.Natasha2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

I stayed in Derek's place for a few days while househunting in Gosford. In no way does this take away from some of the incredible hosts I've stayed with on airbnb but Derek and is place are easily up there as one of the best of the best. The house itself is incredible with a heated pool, kitchen and laundry facilities, and TVs in every room. The bedroom and bathroom were immaculately clean and the bed was comfortable. Derek is friendly and easy going and has clearly put a lot of effort into making his house comfortable and convenient for travellers. He was flexible around checking in and out and even gave me a lift to the station during a torrential downpour! The house is right next to a bus stop which will take you to Gosford train station and bus interchange and is convenient for exploring the local area. I highly recommend staying at Derek's place to anyone.Tim2017-03-29T00:00:00Z
This is a lovely airbnb. The house is modern and has been fully renovated by Derek. Bedrooms a light and airy and very comfortable with a ceiling fan and built in TV and abundant storage space. Each room is lockable and secure. Public usage areas are roomy with every facility you could wish for. An outstanding feature is the garden n swimming pool area tastefully furnished and decorated with plants and greenery which I found to be a great place to unwind and relax and commune with other guests. The airbnb proved central to Gosford City, with Bus and shops within walking distance I would not hesitate to use Dereks bnb again on future visits as I was really impressed. It is also unbeatable value for money as in my opinion it offers 3 or 4 star comfort for 1 or 2 star pricingPeter & Gail2017-01-13T00:00:00Z
Derek & Sandie definately have the gift of hospitality for anyone wishing to stay in Wyoming. Everything was at our fingertips & very comfy, including the mattresses on beds & pillows. The pool is so lovely to get into & plenty of lazy places to sit around. We loved meeting others staying & all got along well, giving each other space. Derek took us on a short excursion, close to home up into the scenic lookout in the bushland which was great also. He also gave us great tips on where to eat. The local Leagues Club ...all you could eat is amazing food &'value! We had great close day trips visiting the Central Coast, including ferry ride from Ettalong Beach to Palm Beach where Home & Away are filmed!! Honestly, I cant recommend this hidden Airbnb Gem enough. Thanks Derek & Sandie!!Maureen2017-01-11T00:00:00Z
Great place, great price, great people. Really enjoyed our stay at Derek's place. It covered a lot of wants and needs for adults and children. Would definitely stay again and have zero complaints to make.Rebecca2017-04-16T00:00:00Z
We had a great stay. The house is really nice and the pool is amazing. Derek and his partner are really helpful and lovely. Highly recommended.Jolanthe2017-01-24T00:00:00Z
What an amazing place! We stayed there for 2.5 weeks and everything was perfect. Rooms were nice and clean, bed was very comfy, all the necessities (TV, dishes, cutlery, blender, toaster, washing machine, iron etc) were there for us to use. Big pool, ping pong table and Netflix were a big bonus. Derek and Sandra are extremely nice and helpful! We would stay there again any time!Liis2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Sam as a host is a lovely guy and communicates extremely well with his guests. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to it.Lee2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

A beautiful, character filled cottage. It was a very clean,cozy and a comfortable place. Particularly loved the log burner and the fresh eggs from the chickens were a hit! Thank you Clare.Leanne and James 2017-05-21T00:00:00Z
We had a great time at the cottage, the fresh eggs, all the animals so different from our city life, I would love to stay longer. Thank you all!Ying2016-01-11T00:00:00Z
Mangrove Creek was a revelation. So many times I have travelled on the highway between Newcastle and Sydney, without realising that such a veritable haven of quiet and natural beauty exists below. Clare and her family were perfect hosts, letting us use their water vessels [i.e. canoe, row boat, kayak] and even inviting us to view their alpacas being shorn. The log cabin was filled with creature comforts and rustic charm. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this property to anybody....singles, couples, families.Nada2015-10-06T00:00:00Z
The place was top notch. Cosy, relaxing, balcony views... the perfect weekend away from the city. The cottage was well equipped and had everything necessary for a lovely weekend away. Would definitely recommend to anyone!Jonathan2016-02-22T00:00:00Z
The farm was beautiful and had everything you needed. They had board games and torches already there. Had basic pantry need as well which helped a lot! Kids loved the chickens and vegetable patch. We fed the neighbors horses and got a close look at the alpacas. Beautiful escape!Jasmin2015-08-10T00:00:00Z
Great stay, loved the coziness of the cottage. The kids loved interacting with the animals and taking a chance at fishing!Benjamine2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

Judy's place The River Retreat was absolutely gorgeous. The house was beautifully decorated and the garden was just lovely and bursting with colour. My daughters absolutely loved picking the ripe tomatoes. Judy answered any questions leading up to our trip extremely promptly and her information manual was full of tips for things to do during our stay. The house is near the Convict Trail, the Spencer Store, lots of lovely walks, and the Settler's Arms is a drive away. All of my family absolutely loved the house and garden and stunning views of the river. It is a gem of a place and we can't wait to return. Thank you Judy for such a great time.Amanda2017-04-17T00:00:00Z
The location is just magical! Serene and picturesque. The view from the house overlooking the river and the escarpment helps the mind and body unwind. Great facilities - lovely open plan dining, living and kitchen perfect for socializing or just soaking up the view from the couches. Kitchen is very well equipped for those who want to make the most of cooking up a storm! Beautiful garden with herbs and flowers - perfect for an afternoon relax with a book or newspaper. Judy was a delight to communicate with and was full of great suggestion for things to do and see in the local area. We will definitely be booking here again!Anna2017-04-02T00:00:00Z
Beautiful apartment with wrap around views of the river from the great open plan living room and from the lovely deck. Fantastic place for a getaway. Judy laid on all the possible info you could want as well, so thanks again!Angus2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

one of the best airbnb experiences ever. couldn't recommend it moreLeon2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
I had an absolutely perfect stay. So relaxing and tranquil. I'd recommend this as a great romantic or family get away - or a private place to be alone. The boat and hammock were a great addition. Beautiful views, too. Hosts are friendly, helpful and great to deal with - thank you, I will be back.Emma2017-01-08T00:00:00Z
Mike's house is fantastic. The location is incredible with beautiful views of the river and convenient at only 55 min from central Sydney. The house was clean and well equipped. Having use of the boat was great to go fishing and explore the area. There was some wood for the open fireplace and Foxtel to watch the footy! Unfortunately there is no internet and mobile phone reception very limited but I am sure this would please some people to disconnect on a weekend away. The kitchen was great and well equipped for us to cook in. There is a general store up river but being a captive market is very expensive so make sure you bring all necessary provisions (they do have newspapers etc so is quite convenient). Bob and Lorraine (the neighbours who looked after us) were very helpful with petrol for the boat and leant us a crab pot to try and catch a mud crab! Overall it was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend.Paula2015-06-08T00:00:00Z
My family had a lovely time, we spent most of our time fishing and relaxing. We took the tinny to Spencers point to buy some food one day, its very expensive but we already knew that but still enjoyable . We did some laundry but couldn't find a clothes horse. The fridge and cupboards had a few necessities which helped out. Alot of mozzies at night so you'll need spray as coils aren't allowed. There was one couch & an unusual shaped chair, it was a little squishy for the 4 of us as both boys are 6 ft. The stairs to the bedrooms are steep so try not to forget anything. We didn't bbq but they have a good one, the table near the bbq is old & I suggest the owner disposes of it. Everyone we met was friendly & people going past in boats always wave hello.Lee2017-01-21T00:00:00Z
Beautiful location , we had a fabulous time !mark2017-01-14T00:00:00Z
If you are looking for seclusion this is the place for you, we were greeted by a neighbour, James, who was an absolute star. Sadly there was a power cut on arrival caused by one of the most amazing storms I have ever seen. But James made sure we had plenty of candles and we cooked on the very massive and impressive BBQ. Strangely the lack of power added to the experience. Would definitely recommend.Graham2017-02-19T00:00:00Z

This was exactly what we were looking for. We both live in Sydney and this was the perfect getaway for our anniversary. The photos don't do it justice; we were blown away by the generosity of Linda and Ian, as well as the landscape, massive spa (!), the lovely house and two friendly dogs. This is a gem that we are already looking forward to returning to, and to enjoy homemade pizza from the wildfires pizza oven. Breakfast was also sensational!Paul2016-03-08T00:00:00Z
I stayed there with my family for a short period of time but wish it was longer. Both Linda and her husband went over and beyond our expectation. The house and facilities are superb (think outside of the box when you look for a private retreat). We rented a private room only but it was like a quality hotel. Owners at one side of the house (mansion) and guests at the other. Great breakfast, basically what you want. Garden is magnificent. There are some horses on the property, a huge pond with ducklings. Location is great. Out of city but only 10 mins from huge shopping centre and probably 15 mins from beaches. Try it and you won't be disappointed!Carl2015-11-11T00:00:00Z
This was the perfect weekend getaway from the city. The place is amazing, surrounded with beauty. Linda and Ian were great, very helpful with anything we wanted or needed to know.

Janet & Franks place was perfect for our needs. Really neat and clean, ticked away in a quiet part of the Central Coast.Matthew2016-11-26T00:00:00Z
Shambala is indeed the tranquil retreat described by the hosts. Nestled amongst the treetops this mid-century architecturally designed home offered great views in a very quiet neighbourhood. I stayed for 6 weeks and the house had all the amenities and facilities necessary for a long stay. Bus stops, the Narara railway station and corner shop are well within walking distance but beaches, cinemas, supermarkets, restaurants and pubs require a car. The signal for mobile broadband was adequate. The whitegoods were clean and modern but the furnishings and decor were a little dated and the interior could do with a fresh coat of paint. Janet and Frank are excellent hosts and responded very quickly to any queries.Chris2017-02-11T00:00:00Z
The place is comfortable like home, Janet&Frank are much friendly, they even prepared champagne, and chocolate on our arrival, much warming! The location of property is also easy to get train and drive to Gosford with 20mins. We all feel satisfied with their all arrangement.Qin2016-11-19T00:00:00Z

Wow, what a fantastic place to stay! My family and I had the pleasure of visiting Peter and Susan's place for three weeks and everything was just perfect. The property is very peaceful and beautiful both inside an out. It is very equipped and has everything needed for a family with very small children. The neighbouring families are very welcoming and helpful, however not intrusive at all. And the beautiful dogs, they just made our stay! My girls did shed a few tears on leaving and Wilson, Jake and Sam will be missed dearly. Thank you very much for a great stay! Very highly recommended!Rebecca 2016-10-31T00:00:00Z

We booked pretty last minute, and Peter and the gang were very able to accommodate us. It was a wonderful experience, and we loved the town and surrounding area. There are a number of trails, cafes, and tourist stops nearby by car, and you're minutes from the train station otherwise. The house is spacious and clean, and the garden is peaceful. The house is technically in town, but there's really only one neighbouring house, which are Peter's very helpful in-laws.Israel2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

Nicola! You'are a beautiful host. Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay in your house. It was a great last minute booking and so many unexpected delights. Your house is so cozy and my family had the best time. Your swimming pool was a huge huge bonus especially with our girls. Chilling at your expansive deck, slow breakfasts and long lunches. I've baked and cooked which I enjoyed so much in your amazing kitchen. That's such a luxury in itself. Thank you once again and we're very lucky to have found your house during the busiest Christmas time. Happiest New Year and hope we come and visit again soon.

this is an absolutely beautiful, get-away-from-it-all cottage. The boat ride is less than 5 mins, very easy to manage and navigate and the view is breathtakingly beautiful - just you and water. Very lovely, quiet, peaceful. If you love fishing, it is perfect; if you just want to silence, no reception, no devices - this is your place! Weller was perfect - prompt with information, advice and guidance. Beautiful weekend away!Lucy2017-03-25T00:00:00Z
We had an amazing time at The Last Resort. Loved the view, the quietness and having a boat to ourselves. We had no phone reception for 4 days which was actually a blessing - complete disconnection and pure enjoyment of the moment. Weller was friendly and communication with him was easy. The neighbours were lovely. The house was comfortable and child-friendly. We didn't want to go back to the city!Caroline2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

We will definitely be back, three nights was not enough! Highly recommend the Last Resort.David2016-12-26T00:00:00Z
A great place to unwind and enjoy the peace and great views. Be sure to take a trip in the boat to Spencer for brekky or lunch. The kids caught many flathead off the jetty and spent hours playing and fishing. Leave the electronics at home. There is no mobile reception or internet, so you can switch off and unwind.Paul2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Sabrina is a wonderful host, she is very helpful and responded quickly to our enquiries. Her place is quiet, spacious and the deck has a nice view of Brisbane Water. We love the swing chair and we enjoyed dining with a view at the deck. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you Sabrina!Priska2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Me and my work mate had a pleasent stay at Sabrinas house. We would have liked better wheather as the views from the terasse are great. really a nice outdoor area. There is plenty of room in the house, and only a short walk to the train station, with connections to Sydney center. The house is older, but for a Family on Holiday really nice.Peter2017-03-29T00:00:00Z

Show & Tell: RHONY Ep. 9×08
The show is in full swing now. Here are some fun details from this week's RHONY, including some of my favorite looks from the Berkshires.
I've definitely caught the real estate bug, as I've mentioned before. In this episode, Fredrik and I went back to the drawing board to discuss the initial stages of selling my current apartment. Hope you enjoyed a little taste of #Beklund – much more to come when our new show Keeping It Real Estate premieres.
– Grey Sweater: Only Mine
– Jeans: Rag and Bone
Once the real estate biz was taken care of, Carole and I headed to the Berkshires. I'm still laughing at our arrival – looking like two New Yorkers dropped from a plane in Upstate New York.
– Grey Furry Coat: Stella McCartney
Carole and I went upstairs to talk strategy before making one last attempt to talk to Luann about Tom. I'm obsessed with this comfy black cashmere sweatsuit by Madeline Thompson.
Any predictions for what's gonna happen on the trip next week? Let me know in the comments, and stay tuned for next week's Show & Tell for insider RHONY info.

The hospital isn't known as a place that is warm, comfortable and inviting. The patients and their families would much rather be home than stuck in the cold, sterile environment of a hospital or clinic. Having quality medical office furniture and hospital is crucial for the facility's image. Patients will often times, feel more at ease in a facility that has a more modern and comfortable furnishings. In addition, the safety and quality of these items is a direct reflection of how the facility operates. Many private hospitals and clinics have the means to invest in the best and most comfortable hospital furniture and medical office furniture. Patients are spending a lot of money for their treatment, so it's only fair that they are the most comfortable they can be despite their health circumstances. If you're struggling with the idea of updating your medical facility's hospital furniture or medical office furniture, here are a few tips to help you select the right items.
1) Find a credible retailer of comfortable hospital furniture and office furniture. There are many retailers online that are trustworthy and reliable sources of the items you need. Online shopping is much easier, and often times cheaper, for the purchaser. In addition, you can get multiple items shipped in one order, instead of having to get different items from different stores.
2) You should also take a look around your facility and make a list what needs to be replaced, in order of importance. By identifying the most worn out items in your hospital or clinic, you can prevent yourself from over-spending or ordering things you don't need. In addition, you can casually ask patients what they would like to see in terms of hospital furniture. What would make them more comfortable?
3) You should also identify what kinds of updates are necessary. Would it be beneficial to modernize the lobby? Perhaps it would be more effective if you updated the waiting room in your hospital. Modernization is a good thing. Just keep in mind the décor and if the hospital furniture you're thinking of purchasing is cohesive to the current decorating style employed in your facility.
4) If you have the funds you should think outside the traditional hospital furniture box. These days, with private hospitals offering individual rooms, patients expect a certain level of comfort for themselves and their families. There are items like lounge sofas, recliners, and sleepers that are sure to make even the most distressed visitors, feel a little more at home.
5) Besides aesthetics, safety and quality are incredibly important when selecting hospital furniture. You really can't run the risk of a patient getting hurt by a poorly constructed piece of hospital furniture. So when shopping, be wary of any heavily discounted items. Inquire why the item is so cheap before you buy it. You should also check to see if the item has any recognizable certifications. It would also help to know the major brands of hospital furniture. If it's a brand that you are unfamiliar with, or can't find any information about, you should keep shopping until you find an item that is a recognizable and trustworthy brand.
